Comment on Wasp Control is Important by Pest Control Forum

Pest Control Forum — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 16:07:18 +0000

The number of wasps every year seems to be increasing with more and more queens surviving the cold winters. Like any pest they must be controlled in a professional manner. People often try to treat wasp nests on their own and often come unstuck. It’s always better to call a professional pest control expert to deal with a wasp problem.

Wildlife cameras are also quite inexpensive nowadays. You can get a very decent camera with fifty to hundred bugs.

As a fellow pest controller I totally agree with all said above. But after another year of people who are unable to tell the difference between wasps and honey bees I feel a post on this would be very important. Honey bees may look similar to the wasp but play such a major roll in our eco system I feel when need to help better educate
people to understand them better.

Shouldn’t people let the birds migrate instead of encouraging them to stay in the North during the Winter…?

Good advice given in this article. My garden is so neat and tidy that the only wildlife it attracts are the local cats!

Comment on Wildlife refuge in your back garden by Andy Roberts - small pond keeper

I’m not arguing that having a gentle shallow pond edge isn’t a good idea to help wildlife, but what makes you say that hedgehogs can’t swim? I’m pretty sure they can. It’s good to give them a easy way to climb out though

Comment on Making your garden a home for birds by Debbie P

These are some very good tips. I already have foxglove in my garden which definitely does attract lots of bees. I might give honeysuckle a go, I know it is supposed to smell lovely to humans as well as insects! I think it is very important to provide protection from predators for the birds. I’ve got a very nice nest box which provides safe shelter, but also has a camera in so I can see what the birds are doing inside! I wanted one like this for ages but couldn’t find one with a camera anywhere except here:

But obviously there are a lot of nest boxes without cameras and they’re cheaper too. Not as fun though!

I’ve got some bird feed hanging from a tree branch too – but I have found that actually the squirrels eat more of it than the birds. Perhaps Wildlife Gardening could give us some tips on how to ensure that it is the birds in our gardens who benefit from the things we provide, rather than squirrels or other pesky critters!
